ABSTRACT

This conversation took place via email during the last months of 2013 and the early days of 2014. Given our very busy agendas it was planned as a non-pretentious and undemanding exercise. In fact it was just that, but something about it so attracted our attention and interest that it turned out to be an intense and touching encounter, through which not just the conversation but our relationship grew. Maybe because we were raising topics that turned out to be something approaching existential obsessions for both of us, or maybe for some other reason, we became deeply involved in what might be called a truly philosophical and/or educational dialogue. The remainder of the chapter exhibits the e-mail dialogue between Walter Omar Kohan and Jan Masschelein.
